Patio Construction

My patio construction has finally started.

Stamped concrete, fire pit with a seat halfway around, built in grill with bistro top, new water bib with a drain for a dog wash and a handfull of lights.

When are they putting in the stone?

Very nice, keep us updated!

When are they putting in the stone?

I am not sure yet when the chopped stone and Oklahoma slate counters and caps will go in. I was hoping to see it all done before I leave but that is not going to be the case. We still have the sprinkler guy coming out to move a head and valve and electrician to come out and install power down the wall for the grill and malibu lights controller.

This spring we are going to redo all the bushes and plants so don't worry about the old looking stuff.

you can see the water bib on the middle pillar of the porch and then move out two feet and you will see the drain. I am tired of the dirty feet coming in the house.

Its going to look awesome! You doing the work your self? Looks like something my F-I-L designed.

I'm sure i will be out of line on this question but thought i would go ahead and ask.

is there any way you could outline the cost of your project? I would love to do something like that at my house but have no clue about the cost involved.

Looks good, be nice to see the finished product.

Concrete is going in tomorrow at 9am.

I need to get up early and move the gas pipe coming up in the fire pit. Off by 8 inches.

No I am not doing it myself. I discovered the other day a shovel does not fit my hands very well (I tried at least two).

As far as the cost, I am way over budget but I wanted it done right. For the money I am paying, if it is not done right I am going to explode. BMR Pools is doing the entire job. Next up is landscape. More pics tomorrow after they pour.

We have a patio....

A little more dirt work


Stamps and color


Concrete is 4" and 5" in most places plus a footer.

Texture and color going down.


...even on the sides.

Tomorrow they are coming out to do the overlay on the existing porch and the rock work might start tomorrow also.

Should be okay for the dogs to walk on tomorrow but for now we have to walk them on a leash out front so they can do their thing.

Man I love that stamp design.I can't wait to show that to Mary and see if it's something she may want.

Looks good Keith.
